The market stalls of the women of Abacha Street , Freetown , were destroyed this morning by supporters of the Sierra Leone People’s Party ( SLPP ) , a day after the National Elections Commission ( NEC ) controversially declared them winners of the presidential run off, and their flag bearer , Brig. Maada Bio sworn in as President.
Market women largely supported the All People’s Congress ( APC ) during the elections.
These videos and the statements made by social media activists say it all.
Riot also broke out between SLPP supporters on the rampage and the Police in Kenema

I strongly condemn the abrupt destruction of ECONOMIC LIVELIHOOD of lower income WOMEN last night by thugs supporting the ruling SLPP Government of President Julius Maada Bio. The destruction of market stalls and threats against those poor women who are their families' breadwinners is just sickening! And it appears to have well organised undertones. It was not a spontaneous event. If even you wanted them removed, it should never be without alternative arrangements put in place.So, I strongly condemn the abrupt destruction of market street trading stalls and threats against women breadwinners without alternative arrangements yet put in place. I hope we are not going to experience any more of such unfortunate actions. APC lost a chunk of support when similar video images appeared of WOMEN being displaced in Aberdeen in the year 2015 by the demolition squad. Don't take citizens for granted!In just less than 24 hours, we see a large chunk of WOMEN being economically distressed. It is so abrupt and so unfair!😡🌴 *SLPP supporters, una kusheh oh!!!!*Dr. Sylvia Olayinka Blyden, OOR.Thursday April 5th 2018

The livelihoods of our women is the bedrock of a better Sierra Leone! Shame on those who went on the rampage to destroy the tables of these market women!
Mr. President you must unite the country to avoid us going down emerging path! People need to understand that the moment you took the oath of office, you seized to be the SLPP Presidential Aspirant and became the Head of State of Sierra Leone!
Your Excellency we are calling on you to denounce this act of thuggery against our women! I am sure you will with the atmost urgency it requires!
Paopa We Woman en Girl Pikin den for Betteh!!!

S.O. Blyden Let’s not be so heartless.
Henry Aiah Sumbay Kamara den b so rude n b dae always cus dae Mr Bio.
Abdulai Kamara If this is the kind of change they’re bringing, we have news for them that they are yawning for.
Shekuba Amani Sannoh This action is nothing strange and am not taken by surprise. My concern is where’s the so-called proactive CSOs especially the regime change consortium, where are the women groups and lest I forget to mention 50/50. Salone is indeed a place on planet Earth…….so so personal interest b4 Country.
S.O. Blyden Feel free to comment but keep it within civilized tenets or I will delete your comment and unfriend you.
Watin d Market Woman dem do? Why unarbda burn den tables dem?? A Bo… Na dis kam for Peace Loving Sierra Leoneans!!!
President Bio r know say u da see this.. Act now to end this madness.
It not good for our Democracy
Abdulai Kamara This is what a BIO PRESIDENCY LOOK LIKE. LAWLESSNESS, VIOLENCE AND FULL OF VENGEANCE AND REVENGE. BRACE YOURSELF PEOPLE…
Rashid Ansumana Clearly it is wrong to oppress anyone. Peace loving Sierra Leaneans should advise against such attacks. Whether perpetrators are APC or SLPP. The police should investigate and bring the hoodlums to justice.
George Ngobeh Guess this is just the beginning
Husainatu Jalloh Randall THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN LUMLEY RIGHT NOW
Desmond M A Cole Those of you who are jubilant be aware that today it’s defenceless market women you couldn’t give a damn about. Tomorrow it could be you! Watch and wait
